Design a large-scale ride-hailing system similar to Uber.

The system should support:

riders creating ride requests with pickup and destination
drivers going online or offline and continuously updating their location
matching riders with nearby available drivers
managing driver, rider, and trip state in real time
dispatching rides at high scale across many regions

Discuss the functional and non-functional requirements, API design, data model, service architecture, ride-matching flow, location update pipeline, scalability strategy, and how you would handle consistency, failures, and stale data.
